The likelihood, according to sources, is that Tomlinson's severely strained groin will keep him out the rest of the postseason and will require surgery. But Turner reported Sunday that the injury “is not any worse” after Tomlinson played on it Saturday.
We'll see what happens. As of right now, it looks very doubtful that LT will have a chance at playing in Pittsburgh or, if they advance any further, in the AFC Championship.
Darren Sproles looked great on Saturday night, fully capable of giving the production one would expect out of a healthy LT. If Tomlinson is not fully ready to go and actually a liability on the field, he shouldn't play. Sproles probably won't play as well as he did against Indy, but a healthy Sproles is better, especially against the defenses the Chargers will have to face from here on out, than a slow, beaten-down Tomlinson.
